I can't figure out how to control the resolution and the size
independently using bitmap().  I'm getting something close
to what I want with this combination of arguments:

ps.options(horizontal=F, pointsize=25)
bitmap ("/usr/dfs/WWW/auction/foo.png", width=2, height=2, res=288)

In the browser on my laptop, the resulting plot is about 6 inches
square.  If I drop the resolution to 144, the plot is then about
3 inches square.

Any further wisdom for me?  Is there a better approach to using
cgi for web graphics?  Maybe this just isn't a problem for which
R or S is the best solution.
